Henry Miller, letter to Anaïs Nin, February 12th, 1932
At midnight last night my table was littered with notes that, unable to digest it all and frame a coherent letter, I gave up in despair and went to bed. The room has become infinitely more habitable since (after two weeks) I discovered that the light could be manipulated. I must tell you that the big coal box in my room is an object which I look at ( Read more... ) -
2012, you're making less sense as you go on...
Pick up the nearest book to you.
Turn to page 45.
The first sentence describes your sex life in 2012.
Romeo:
“I'll tell thee, ere thou ask it me again.
I have been feasting with mine enemy,
Where on a sudden one hath wounded me,
That's by me wounded.”
and, for kicks, my long-suffering wip novel:
“Don’t condescend.”

Weird Rap -- Frank Ocean's "Swim Good"
I'm a proponent of weird fiction [neat list of recent examples] and I wish there was more weird rap. By stepping outside of verse / chorus / verse and focusing on bars and hooks, there's a whole lot more room for spoken word style narratives and tonal shifts that communicate atmosphere. Yet it's slim pickings. (The reason I listen to rap is the ( Read more... ) -

Happy Thanksgiving...
One of the great things about being a vegetarian is that I get to make up my own traditions for Thanksgiving.

Then, Tofurkey!

Because I love Britpop and it was a very good list.T
hen, with me not knowing it was coming, they put out a a list of The Top 100 Goth Songs of All Time.
How do you spell "aye yai yai?"

Spent much of Saturday with Brian doing some preliminary editing on the Drowning Girl video, which was mostly me just telling him that he was correct with his initial instinct. I'm totally in love with the music that West ( Read more... ) -
Happy October! (Heather's Monologue from The Blair Witch Project)
I just want to apologize to Mike's mom and Josh's mom and my mom and I'm sorry to everyone. I was very naive.
(looks away from camera, scared)
I was very naive and very stupid and I shouldn't have put other people in danger for something that was all about me and my selfish motives. I'm so sorry for everything that has happened because in spite of ( Read more... ) -
On the set, day 3
Originally posted by kylecassidy at On the set, day 3
Day two on the set was lots of crazy big shoots with people underwater and danger and tourists and naked people, a lot of the stuff that I was most worried about and that was the most grueling on the actors, which makes it grueling on me. Actually, day one was pretty intense too. Day three is our character ( Read more... ) -
the Drowning Girl
It's easier to just post Kyle's version, mostly because his pictures tell more than anything I could possibly type...
